President Biden thread...

Fuck unions. The minimum wage should be $0. Let the free market determine a person’s wage. Paying some beast $20/hour to fuck up my order of a black coffee at Starbucks, or to hit a button on the fry machine at any fast food joint makes me sick.

Totally agree. That's what the free market does is determine value.

Good lord.

It has gone beyond the realm of sanity.

Correct. I have beaten that drum to death over the years.

As have I, my friend.

The point is whenever a controversial shooting occurs that riles up the black community, one of the first things that people say is "what about Chicago". Basically saying why aren't blacks outraged by the black on black crime in Chicago. It's not necessarily said here on DCC, but in society it is.

My point is the same can be said when it comes to crimes committed by illegals. Why do the same people who are completely outraged anytime an illegal alien commits a crime, remain completely silent when a U.S. citizens commits the same crime...and probably at a higher rate?

There was a mass shooting that killed 4 people in Arkansas on Friday and it probably wasn't mentioned on this site and if it was it was glossed over.

My guess is because crime will always exist and when it's committed out there in normal society at large we as a population expect it to be handled "normally," -- a police investigation resulting in arrest, conviction and sentencing.

When it's committed by illegal aliens there is a sense that it was more preventable by enforcing an existing law about immigration. And when a crime is highlighted for political purposes ("let's ban guns,") then it makes sense to point out the logical fallacy for that position.

I don’t get why this is viewed as a positive.

Like a bunch of undecideds are like, well, that moves the bar for me.

Former Republican?

I think anyone not MAGA could be considered that these days.

I agree.

Even though anyone who is MAGA shouldn't be classified as a Republican since Trump doesn't embody any traditional conservative values to begin with.

This has a weird stink to it. It's not like either Biden or Trump should be President, but he knows that if he encourages people to vote third party, it could mean a Trump victory, which he's openly sought to prevent from repeating for years now.

What do you mean third party... he said he's voting for Biden.

True

Kennedy would suck more votes from Biden than he would Trump.

I think that's debatable, but even so... He endorsed Biden, not Kennedy. What am I missing here?

I agree.

Let me expound on this. The entire Republican party isn't the Republican party I grew up with, so naturally the MAGA (whatever that really is) wouldn't fall under that name.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Like I said, if he said to vote for someone either than Biden or Trump (i.e., a third party), it would likely result in a Trump victory.

Well, he is a liberal so he would never do that and hurt his actual real party.
